Each company has developed its ambitious strategy to help an EV powerhouse infection. But each carmaker will provide an electric model range and bid adieu to piston-powered vehicles? Here, we look at the EV ambitions of some of the most popular manufacturers and explain when they will fully light up. While many automobile manufacturers have confirmed their plan, some marks have so far been tagged with 'TBC' (to be confirmed).
Alfa Romeo – 2027:
The Turin-based company plans to provide an all-electric line by 2027, with four new electric vehicles ready to debut next year. The first car will be an electric crossover based on small chassis, similar to Jeep Avenger.
It will then be followed by an electric heir of the Gillia Salon in 2025, which is estimated to have a limit of 1000 bhp and 435 miles. By 2027, the electric crossover and the gillia will be included by a luxury salon to rival a flagship SUV to replace the Porsche Tycan and Audi E-Tron as well as the stelvio.
Alpine – 2026:
Alpine - 2026at moment, the French firm does not offer an electric vehicle, instead fully focuses on several versions of its A110 sports car. Alpine used electrification last year, introducing the A110 E-Ternité, a battery-powered version of the famous two-seater of the brand, weighing only 1378 kg. Alpine will release its first EV, A290 beta next year. The GT X-over SUV in 2025 and the A110 Electric replacement in 2026 will come after this.
Aston Martin – TBC:
The British company, known for its sports cars and recently, is ready to release its first electric vehicle in the form of SUVs, SUVs by 2025, with a motor and battery supply provided by the US Start-up Lucid. Aston Martin has intended to debut his EVS with his combustion vehicles, but has not specified that it will shut down its piston-managed versions.
Audi – 2033:
Audi has stated that it will discontinue combustion engines by 2033, with the German company planning to deliver only new evs globally beginning in 2026. Comprises the e-tron gt, Rs e-tron gt, q4 e-truon, Q4 e-Tron Sportback, Q8 E-Tron, Q8 e-Tron SportBack, SQ8 e-Tron, and SQ8 e-Tron SportBack.
Audi will expand its electric lineup next year with a new flagship electric A8 as well as Q6 E-Tron and SQ6 E-Forn. This will be followed by Electric A3, A4 and A6 models, as well as 4WD R8 successors.
Bentley – 2030:
The luxury car manufacturer plans to go electric by 2030, when the new law banns the sale of new fuel and diesel vehicles in the UK. Although Bentley has already introduced an EV, its first EV is expected to go on sale in 2026 and will be based on Audi and Porsche's new PPE (performance platform electric) architecture.
The first electric model of Bentley is most likely that the UK Crave will have a high-riding salon built in a new dedicated plant at the company's headquarters.
BMW – TBC:
BMW already sells several electric vehicles including I4, i7, IX1, IX3, and IX, with the I5 Salon due to coming next year. The Munich-based business has so far set a time limit to launch a pure electric lineup, but it estimates 50% of the global sales by 2030 to be fully electric.
Ferrari – TBC:
The famous brand plans to launch its first electric sports vehicle in 2025, but has not stated anything about the design. The manufacturer has recently used the SF90 in the hybrid region, and recently, with 296 GTB.
According to our colleagues in Sister-Title Autocar, the first electric Ferrari will have a two-seater with motors on each wheel, making it an all-wheel-drive.
Honda – 2040:
The Tokyo-based automaker will begin on a £ 31 billion electrification campaign by 2030 with a plan to distribute 30 new all-electric vehicles. Honda introduced its new E: NY1 compact electric SUV in Europe, the new prolog and Ekura SUV coming to North America in 2024 will be available after a small Eve in China. The Japanese company intends to be fully electric or hydrogen-intelligent in all major markets by 2040.
Faqs
Are all major car brands really going electric?
Yes — most major automakers have announced plans to shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) over the next decade. Some aim for partial electrification, while others plan to go fully electric by 2035 or sooner.
What are the target dates for top car companies to go electric?
Here's a quick look:
-
General Motors (GM): All-electric by 2035
-
Volvo: Fully electric lineup by 2030
-
Ford: All-electric in Europe by 2030
-
Volkswagen: 70% EVs in Europe by 2030
-
Honda: 100% EVs globally by 2040
What’s pushing car brands toward electrification?
Key factors include government regulations, consumer demand, technological advances, and a global push to cut carbon emissions and combat climate change. EVs are also becoming more cost-effective to produce and own.
Will gas-powered cars completely disappear soon?
Not immediately. While EVs are on the rise, gas and hybrid vehicles will still be around for the next decade or two, especially in regions with limited charging infrastructure. But their numbers will steadily decline.
